Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school. Which one did you like best? And why? Before you read any further, think for a minute the qualities that make a teacher good. Some very common answers to this questionn are that teachers need to love their students, they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects, and they should put their hearts into their jobs.
It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the one hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them. A deep knowledge of the subject is important, but the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students is also very important.
These skills include how to control a class, and so on. Finally teachers have to spend a lot of time and energy on their work. However, they are also models that their students must follow; so it is important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work，family, friends, hobbies, and so on
| A．On the other hand they should have interests in the development of both their brains and their characters. |
| B．Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers in your opinion? |
| C．A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow minded. |
| D．All of these ideas are, of course, true but they are a little too simple. |
E. A teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching.

| Mass Media The weather report, a story about the Pop stars and different cultures are examples of messages from the media(传媒). Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media. It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media(大众传媒). Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about ads, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Ads are important messages. Even though they sometimes make us feel rather angry, they help us know things well. Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about news and events. Do you learn them from other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important place of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, “Television.” Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read ads on billboards(露天广告) on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather report or the sports news on the radio this morning? Now you are reading, and that’s to say you’re getting information through a very important medium of mass. The mass media are important to us because they shape(影响) our decisions and opinions. Don’t you think so? |
A. Ads are Important Messages from the Mass Media B. Different Kinds of Messages One May Receive Each Day. C. Television-A Rich Place of Information D. What Mass Media is E. Mass Media are important to people |

Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn’t like to share things with others. Smith had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and planted. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when hegot home, he did not know where to plant it.
He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight or good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
“What’s the difference?” the farmer said angrily.” If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I planted it in one of my fields, my neighbours would have come at night and stolen some of the apples.If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit.”
“Yes,” said the friend,” but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have got nothing, but also you have destroyed a good apple tree.”Was Smith happy about the gift?
When did he plant the apple tree?
Where did Smith plant the apple tree in the end?
Why did the apple tree soon die?
What would probably happen if the farmer had planted the tree near his house?
